How To Clean Spots On Couch

The most important thing to do is to act quickly. The longer the stain sits, the harder it will be to get out.

Start by removing any solid matter from the sofa. Use a spoon or a butter knife to scrape off any food or other debris.

Once the solid matter has been removed, it's time to tackle the stain itself. Here are a few different methods to try:

Blot the stain with a clean white cloth or paper towel. Do not rub, as this will only spread the stain. Continue blotting until the stain has been removed.
If the stain is still visible, make a cleaning solution by mixing one tablespoon of dish soap with two cups of warm water. Apply the solution to the stain and blot with a clean cloth. Rinse the area with clean water and blot dry.
For tough stains, try using a commercial upholstery cleaner. Follow the instructions on the product label carefully.

No matter which method you choose, be sure to test it in an inconspicuous area first to ensure that it does not damage the fabric.

Here are a few additional tips for cleaning stains on a couch:

Always use a clean cloth or paper towel. A dirty cloth will only spread the stain.
Blot rather than rub. Rubbing will only spread the stain and make it harder to remove.
Test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first to ensure that it does not damage the fabric.
Don't over-saturate the fabric. This can lead to water damage.
Allow the fabric to dry completely before using the couch again. This will help to prevent mold and mildew from growing.

If you have a particularly stubborn stain, you may need to call a professional upholstery cleaner.
